Thanks for the note, Don. I got an encouraging detailed note from n0at a few minutes ago telling me that it definitely worked this morning on his rig. So I haven't given up yet. I am going to update to 11.30c and start over. I will check to see if CW works this time before I try RTTY.

Two PC SO2R is a lot simpler and works FB. I used to do it that way, but my Flex 6700 is two radios in one box and doesn't allow 2 PCs to control it.

BTW, I believe this could be done with an external macro program if their macro can call another macro, but I haven't pursued that yet.

Jerry, I'm not 100% sure on this but I do not think Dueling CQ works in RTTY mode. You can try it in CW mode to see if it works. If so, switch to RTTY and see if it works. If it works on CW but doesn't work on RTTY then it confirms what I remember about it not working on RTTY. I do SO2R RTTY on two networked PCs and it definitely doesn't work on RTTY that way. 73, Don AA5AU From: Jerry Flanders <jeflanders@comcast.net> To: Mike Heideman <mike_heideman@hotmail.com>; "writelog@contesting.com" <writelog@contesting.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2015 4:52 PM Subject: Re: [WriteLog] Dueling CQ's in WriteLog? Thanks, Mike Yes - it was this posting, along with a couple of other similar ones I discovered, that tell me that WL worked in the past to do exactly what I need. But it just doesn't work for me with V11.29b under Win7. I tried it yesterday before posting and again to make sure I was following instructions exactly. I don't see the "CQ will auto-resume" message, and the focus doesn't shift. If this is working for you there with a recent version of WL maybe I need to change some other option to make it go here. Please let me know what version you are using that it is working with.
